Turkey Trot, Not

While Val was unsuccessful in getting me to run the Turkey Trot on Thanksgiving Day, I do realize I have been neglecting doing even the minimal running I have grown accustomed to not enjoying, but doing anyway.

I brought out the GPS and mapped a 400 meter down the street and back. What started to be just a warm-up ended up becoming part of today’s workout.

6 x 400 meters @ 75% and or 1:45 or less. Full recovery between intervals. (Hey, I have to ease back into this so I can walk right for the next two days)!

Following that, I did a modified "Michael". Since I was at home and do not have a GHD machine there, I subbed out push-ups  (p-ups). I combined those with AbMat sit-ups (s-ups).

3 rounds for time, (or not),

Run 800 meters
50 P-ups
50 S-ups

Got it done in 27:10. The s-ups were the hardest and I took the most breaks, partly because my abs were a little tender from the previous day’s GHD sit-ups (105) and that I haven’t been doing them everyday like I used to (but will do). The third round alone took 10 minutes! When it was all over, I was toasted.
